How very interesting. Some time ago, I suggested not only that people have
the government that they want, but that this is reflected in the laws that
get past.
Haim, of course, would have none of it, suggesting that I had a naive
understanding of how laws are made.
Now we find *him* suggesting that people have the government that they
want, and that this is reflected...
